# Danny Hawkins' dad was hanged!
Danny Hawkins' dad was hanged! #
Fight! Jerry Sykes is fighting
Danny Hawkins! Jerry's got him down!
# Danny Hawkins' dad was hanged!
# Danny Hawkins' dad was hanged! #
Attaboy, Jerry.
Jerry Sykes sure can fight.
Danny's no better than his old man.
Got a present for you, Danny!
Danny Hawkins' dad was hanged!
Danny Hawkins' dad was hanged!
What do you want, Jerry?
I came here to dance.
Well, quit
dancing with Gilly Johnson!
she's out of your class.
You've pestered her ever since.
You're a drunk. No wonder Gilly
walked away on the dance floor.
You're out of line, Hawkins.
You're just ripe for
another beating.
- and I'm just ready to give it to you.
- Shut up, Jerry!
The killer blood, huh?
Did your old man have time to tell you...
how it feels to drop six feet
at the end of a rope?!
Had enough?
You had enough?
Jerry?
Jerry!
Come on, sugar.
I've gotta get back to the band.
Come on, Billy. He's coming over.
- Come on.
- Attaboy. Here, Billy.
That's it. Come on.
Isn't that pretty, Billy. Nice, huh?
Take it, go on.
- Come on, Billy.
- Once more.
Come on. Come on.
Attaboy!
What's the matter with you?
Who does he think he is?
Hey, what's the big idea? That's mine!
Yeah, that's Janey's mirror!
- Get off...!
- Lay off!
Just because he's deaf and dumb.
don't give you the right to make fun of him.
- Why don't you mind...?
- Lay off him!
Forget it, George. He looks like
he's had enough fights tonight.
How long've you been
standing there, Billy?
HOW LONG?
Must be nuts!
Talk about dummy.
Lose your girl, Danny?
Hi, Ken.
How about a game later?
- Just the usual.
- Some of the boys are staying.
The Brothers Pond
bourbon and poker club.
Not me, I can't afford
that kind of poker.
# It just dawned on me
# That there's magic in the moonrise
# It just dawned on me
# When we found our love at moonrise
# A serenade of silver strings
# From dreamy violins... #
Cutting in.
# All at once
# My life begins
# It just dawned on me... #
You're not very courteous.
#... The night is filled with romance
# Let's give love a chance
# We must never let it pass us by
# Two hearts will sing in harmony
# Just like a symphony... #
What's come over you?
You're not dancing with
anyone else tonight, Gilly.
Daniel...
I'm a schoolteacher. I can't afford to fight
with you here in front of everybody.
Jerry because he'd been drinking.
Jimmy Biff's got his old man's
car outside. You're coming with us.
I'm certainly not.
Or I'll carry you out.
Take it easy, Dan.
This stuff is slippery.
Don't be such an old
cross pants, Jimmy!
Golly, do we have to go so fast?!
My old man will murder me
if anything happens to his car.
Danny, please?
What's the matter? You look scared.
I was just thinking about
a little boy in one of my classes.
School's out now.
- All the kids pick on him.
- Yeah?
Give him milk, he breaks the glass.
Hand him a toy, he smashes it.
He gives me a...
He gives me a lot of trouble.
- You don't like him?
- You know how it is with a teacher, Danny.
Even if I hated him, I'd have to hide
my feelings and try not to hurt him.
You see, Dan, he's unhappy.
You just can't hurt a little boy.
Golly, Dan, you're going too fast!
If we start skidding,
we'll never know what we hit.
Slow down, for God's sake!
Stop worrying about your old man.
I'm not worried about nothing but us.
Cool her down, will you, Dan?
For God's sakes!
Be careful, Dan.
That underpass is right ahead.
Look out, Dan! Look out!
Gilly?
Gilly!
Gilly.
It's all right, Dan.
# Fill brightest hours with labour
# Rest comes sure and soon
# Something to keep in store... #
Daniel?
- Yes, Aunt Jessie?
- It's late.
I was out at the Blackwater.
It's near time for hunting.
Did you hear anything
from the railroad?
I'll be on lay-off
Why, are you worried
about your room rent?
Come here, Daniel.
A man needs something
to keep him busy.
Keep him out of mischief.
I guess I don't know
very much about boys, Daniel.
Ever since Grandma sent you to me
from the hills to go to school, I...
I tried my best, but...
Now...
It isn't good for you
never to have known your own...
own pa and ma.
Why don't you say it?
About Pa shooting a man
and getting hung for it.
It's something
What are you trying to say,
Aunt Jessie?
Jimmy Biff's father spoke
He said the car last night
was your fault.
Yours and that schoolteacher's.
What about her?
If she can't handle young people
she wouldn't make
a very good schoolteacher.
I know you're not a bad boy, Daniel.
In spite of what happened a long time ago
there's never been a drop of bad blood
in our family.
You couldn't help but be a good boy.
That's what I told Walter Biff.
That's right nice of you,
Aunt Jessie.
After this, let's...
let's talk together...
a little more often.
We'll talk.
Kiss me goodnight, Daniel.
Gilly?
Gilly...
- You all right?
- I'm all right.
You don't sound very happy.
Should I be?
I called Julie's house this morning.
Her mother wouldn't talk to me.
The kids are OK.
